Alex Weinstein is a composer for film, television, and advertising, best known for his score for the Netflix series Tires. He began studying classical guitar at age four, training in Baroque, Renaissance, and Classical repertoire, and by twelve was recording on a Tascam 424 four-track, teaching himself early production techniques through tape manipulation and multi-track layering.
He went on to study at the Aspen Music School and earned a Bachelor of Music in classical guitar performance from SUNY Fredonia's School of Music. After college, he relocated to New York City to pursue music composition and production. Over the following years he produced dozens of records and composed thousands of pieces of music for advertising, writing across a wide range of genres and styles and establishing a reputation for versatility and reliability under tight deadlines. Along the way, he began developing the handmade, idiosyncratic style that would come to define his work.
Weinstein brought that sensibility to Tires, crafting a score built on live instrumentation and hand-played performance for the Netflix hit. The show's third season landed at No. 2 on Variety's most-watched chart across all streaming platforms the week of its premiere, ahead of every other comedy on the list. Now in its third season and renewed for a fourth, the score for Tires stands as one of Weinstein's most original and personal works to date. The complete score is available on the Tires Original Soundtrack.
